Recenzii
'Jennifer Powell McNutt has delved into Geneva's rich archives to provide an excellent study of the clergy of this small republic, covering from the revocation of the Edict of Nantes to its annexation by France.' Sixteenth Century Journal 'This impressive, splendid study of clergy of Geneva in the era after Calvin is a detailed and persuasive indication that the common view that later Genevan clergy embraced unorthodox Socinianism is incorrect.' Church History 'This book captures important material and important debates in a setting too-often presumed to carry a single meaning in the grand narrative of pre-revolutionary Europe.' American Historical Review '[This is] a worthwhile collection and can certainly be recommended to those who wish to get a sense of current research.' English Historical Review
Descriere
Eighteenth-century Geneva offers a fascinating glimpse into the encounter between the Reformation and the Enlightenment in the figurative meeting of Calvin and Voltaire. This research supports a revisionist understanding of religion and the Enlightenment, moves beyond a simplistic paradigm of 'decline' and secularization, and highlights how Geneva’s French connection ultimately uprooted a society still largely committed to its Protestant-Reformation origins.
